What other great way to add a touch of international flair or schoolroom nostalgia to your home or office space than with an upcycled globe? In their original form, globes offer unique artwork, color, and pattern. Over the years, when country and name places change, globes are then updated and older versions are discarded.
Whether partially preserved or completely refinished with a new look, these old globes certainly deserve a second chance. Check out these revamped versions and I'll bet you'll agree that they are out of this world!

Fabulous! I love old globes and have several as a collection on top of a wardrobe in my son's room. It would hurt me to disassemble one of those, but you do see damaged ones every now and again. Great images!
